Saw Kung-Fu Hustle on the big screen.
I'd seen it a few months back on a sub-standard dvd...but I knew that if it EVER came out on the bigscreen here I'd have to check it out. So, I got my ticket paid for too. Sweet fucking deal.

What can you say about it...? At no point does this film even ATTEMPT any kind of realism, pure martial arts phantasy mayhem...its nuts...yet the movie manages to take you into this world, and it's thoroughly enjoyable. It actually has a pretty decent storyline, and some very likeable characters...starts out a little slow, but all the same...I love the scenery, the sets, the music...and it's one of the funnier asian films I'd seen in years.
Badass fight scenes. VERY interesting visual effects, sometimes subtle (the cat:D), sometimes completely over the top.
Feels kind of like a cartoon, but on another level.

I've thought this for a while...if they DO make te rumoured DragonBall movie, they gotta get this guy to direct it.

Id reccomend seeing this to anyone. For those of you tht cant stand subtitles, check out the dvd, I'm sure there'll be a dubbed edition before too long.
For fans of THIS film - you NEED to check out Shaolin Soccer, the film Stephen Chow did prior to KFH, totally different, but funny as all hell.
Here's hoping a few more of his films make the big screen...
